Today, Rising Star Games released the first set of screens from the upcoming Nintendo DS game, Bubble Bobble Double Shot. Developed in Japan, Bubble Bobble Double Shot is yet another entry in the series for Nintendo's handheld.

The levels are spread across the two DS screens, and are rendered in keeping with the traditional look of the classic Bubble Bobble titles. However, Bubble Bobble Double Shot does throw some new elements into the mix. Players will now have to switch between the two dinosaur brothers, Bub and Bob, in order to take out enemies of varying colors. Characters can be switched instantly be the press of a shoulder button.

Also new to the equation is a method of obtaining continues after a game over through touchscreen-based mini-games. Several games have been inserted including bubble-based puzzles, and a monster chase.

Bubble Bobble Double Shot also offers co-operative play for up to three players. The game is slated for a release in Q1 2007.
